Good news all round, we need to get this deal done!


Oh and to add once done he needs to be made club/team captain on a perm basis once Dis eventually moves on.

FFS LISTEN to the interview!!!

From approx 8mins 30 in. At no stage does Bignot say they have opened talks with Shaun Pearson about a new contract. He says he is intelligent, that he has improved, that he is Grimsby through and through, that he knows what he thinks of him etc etc but at no stage does he say they have offered a new deal!

He did say that Clifton, Venney and Wright ARE under contract for next season ( haven't previously seen that announced anywhere) and that Andy Warringtons contract was now done for next season. Wonder when the club will formally announce these deals?

I listened and got to the same conclusion as Cloudy. Plenty of praise but nowhere does he say that they are in talks about a new contract, not that i'm saying there aren't or won't be. He wouldn't name names when discussing who they want to stay on.

Yeah, but it doesn't name names, so Pearson may or may not be one of the ones he wants to keep.

Ah, good show. Hope we taught Kruger and his dirty Boers a lesson.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yet more overreaction....

If Town do make Pearson an offer of a new contract, IMO it should be to look to extend him to the end of next season. We might possibly be a L1 club at the end of this season or next, and I'm not entirely sure that Pearson would be L1 standard, although he looks plenty good enough to play at L2 level. That said, I think he's been a consistently good player for us with a superb attitude and he is much loved by us all for that. We need to try to reward him and secure him, but keep it rational.

If you want to secure him would you not have to offer him 2 years Chaos?

I don't know. Depends what he wants. No reason why a two year deal couldn't be negotiated, or he might be happy to go for another year and take stock, and the club do likewise. If we are a League one team in the next two years, we'll need league one standard players. Is Pearson league one standard? I don't know. Don't think I'd be offering three years to him, or anyone in the present squad really. Don't get me wrong though - I really like Pearson as a player and a professional.

Just listened to it on my way home from work. As said no firm confirmation of an offer but "one or two" in discussions. I reckon it's him and Danny Andrew (who has stated he would like to stay longer previously and is a fairly local lad) at a guess but that's purely speculation.

I really hope Bignot can walk the walk to match his talk. He's ambitious and obviously has a long term vision for the club. I'd also add that I hope the club are willing to back him financially to allow his vision to be realised.
